1.72's will work well and put valve lift at .516 at the valve tip... minus deflection. If you are using worn out valve springs they will also drive you into valve float sooner.

It is up to you, 1.6 lift will be480 with 1.7 the lift will be 512 (same as an f cam). I think if you plan on running the b cam forever then 1.7s, but if you ever plan on going a different cam 1.6. I once had the bcam/1.7, but had so sell and then buy 1.6s for the xcam.
